Barbara Lee Donovan Freelance Contemporary Artist- Statement The body of my work reflects from everyday surroundings or thoughts that manifest from memories, emotions to trends. A lifetime of being deeply detail oriented my art continues to metamorphosize as time goes by. Each project is grasped with research, dedication, passion, and one’s own self-motivation to take on the challenge to succeed. “Creating Art is hard work. Hate, love, repeat. Truly a power struggle. What a ride.” -----Barbara Lee Donovan Artist Bio-------- Barbara Donovan – a contemporary, American, professional working, published artist from Alexandria, Virginia. She is primarily self-trained with a lifetime of practice. Earliest influences and inspiration include: The Smithsonian’s, The Hirshorn Museum of Modern Art, The National Archives in Washington D.C., and the privilege to work with artists of IMAX cinematography, Guinness Book of World records, authors, musicians, and media specialists. Contributions of pieces to auction and gallery sales include: An American Cancer Society for Charity auction, Home Grown Art gallery, and numerous local stores around Northern Alabama. Barbara’s home studio is where she creates a variety of styles, composition, or object for local and private collectors nationwide. She is a chameleon of sorts with her unique works and has often been compared to Vincent van Gogh’s style as well. Her ever-expanding catalog can be found on Fine Art . Having a quick and sometimes sarcastic wit, Barbara is guilty of loving her family and her blessed life. Interests range widely from photography, making gourmet meals, growing large indoor house plants, re- interior designing the house to drive her husband crazy, biking, hiking beach walks at sunset, releasing baby turtles, and challenging her grandson in playing video games. If given the chance she says she would like to win a HGTV mansion giveaway somewhere exotic Including someone to clean it and the ugliest French Bulldog in existence. She says she will name the dog Mr. Guapo, which translates from in Spanish to Mr. Handsome. Barbara says laughing, she will most certainly have the French Bulldog at least someday.
